This is only true if you use a credit card. A debit card on the otherhand, carries a lot of liability.

The "science" on treating Opioid addictions at this point would just be reaffirming what we already know with mountains of "anecdotal" evidence. You want to solve the Opoid problem? Legalize Ibogane, DMT, Psilocybin, and MDMA, it is that simple.

I'm enjoying TDD a lot

Meh, test are great in so far as they can help you not break things if you upgrade the framework, or langauge in the future. But other than that I have to agree with Kent Beck's sentiment of "I get paid for code that works, not for tests".

If I had started out trying to learn Django using TDD as in this tutorial:

http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000754/index.ht...

I never would have learned Django. I would have given up with the ridiculous slow progress of results and functionality.

the config files were always messy.

How? It so much cleaner and simpler than Apache. I don't get this sentiment.

Money as we know it depends on the authority of the state for credibility, with central banks typically managing its price and/or quantity.

More accurately stated:

Money as we know it depends on the authority of the state for credibility, with central banks typically manipulating its price and/or quantity.

Which is why Cryptocurrency is attractive in the first place.

Game Theory would probably be more valuable to understand than graph theory. Just my 2 cents.

$21 a month per user.....to host it on my own hardware....no thanks. If I am hosting on my own hardware then you get a one-time-fee, none of this subscription nonsense.

high-frequency radiation

Am I the only one concerned with this? I mean it's great that they were able to do this, but I would like some comprehensive studies by various institutions and universities to come to a consensus that this wouldn't have any long-term health side effects.

He basically building off his work at AMD, there was an announcement about a month ago that Telsa will use Zen chips for their self driving cars, surprise surprise. Who would have thought the guy that was lead the effort to design Zen has opted to use those chips in his new project at a another company.

And Apple was more than Jobs and Woz, but they get all the credit.

But guess how easily you can get marijuana, even where it's illegal

Guess how easily you can get any drug.....even in prisons. If we can't keep drugs out of prison then what chance is there to keep it out of the general public?

The war on drugs is over. Drugs won. Legalize them all, provide accurate labeling, and tax it. There is nothing left to "debate".

Can we just stop with this nonsense? If you have a byproduct that has be buried in special containers in the desert, and that land can't be used, and there are people actually trying to come up with symbols that indicate danger that could span all language and culture in case a meteor hits the earth and civilization slowly rebuilds then finds the site, then it isn't "safe" be any stretch of the imagination.

MissionU does something very similar (charge nothing up front and take X% of your salary for X years after you graduate) http://www.missionu.com/ It is really a great model, the "school" doesn't get paid if you don't get a job after graduating.

Higher Education in it is current form has limited time left. Universities will have to evolve or die. Student loan debt is completely out of control and University's aren't preparing kids for real jobs.

MIT wasn't running NAT before now? WTF? Talk about a security nightmare.

Good old investors, so short sighted, they only care about the next 3 months. Whole Foods probably would have been better off as private company, especially with the culture they were trying to create.

Hopefully Tesla would never sell to Apple. I think Apple makes some good products, but I hate how closed their ecosystem is. Tesla has open sourced it's patents, which strongly goes against Apple's philosophy.

ZZ also works as save and quit.

Even in 1964 there was lots of wasteful government spending, it has only got worse over the years.

In most fields there is little incentive to change things when the company itself isn't too affected in case of hack

This is correct. As long as the risk isn't too high then companies will just take the risk and accept a hack as the "cost of doing business". Much like Goldman Sachs expects they will get fined by Governments, but they don't care because the money they make far outweighs the fines imposed.

One of the common complaints people have about python and other popular interpreted languages (Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, etc) is that they’re slow.

Proceeds to show an animation of posting a blog post that performs no faster than if it was built using Django.

I wouldn't bother on a desktop or laptop. Servers absolutely.

Seems very similar to DIGG.com's story.

Don't combine the two

No technical reason these two need to be hosted together

Sound advice. To me it sounds like maybe the OP wants both on the same VPS, which is a horrible idea. Even if you found one provider, still you should have separate VPS's for the email and Django app.

You're limiting your options by insisting to have both app and email hosting with the same company. My suggestion is to investigate them separately.

Even if you do have them with the same company you should have them installed on separate VPS. Sounds like OP wants it all on one server, which I would advise against.

There really aren't sub categories. This isn't reddit. There is just the main site. You can filter out to only see Show, Ask, and Jobs (listed on the top bar), but other than that there is nothing (also those are really just filters, not sub categories, as show, ask, and jobs will show up on the main page).

This is just semantics. The only reason the terminology ever changed is because you can now download what you used to have to buy on disks.

This is a great idea, maybe not just "what I want to research" but write out exactly what I want to accomplish before I turn on the computer. For example, pay electric bill, move money to savings, send an email to dad. etc. I can't really imagine not being able to pay bills online, I am trying to reduce the physical mail I get/have to deal with. I would never want to go back to writing checks and putting them in the mail.

building a brand (your or your company's)

This is exactly correct. It is "Hey potential employer, check out my Medium articles."

Sure you could host it yourself, you will probably pay a monthly fee for this. Also people you are marketing to would most likely go "Oh hey, this guy is Medium, I have been on that site before." Opposed to "Oh this guy is on some blog platform I have never heard of."

In other words: Instead of hosting your content for free, pay Ghost to host it!

I do not reinstall "the OS".

it works superbly with some Arch Linux on it.

These 2 statements contradict each other. Either you reinstall the OS (OK maybe you didn't technically REinstall, but most people would call installing a different OS "reinstalling the OS") or you still running the default OS.
